Mysteries of Hungary

History, Legends, and Backgroundfor Adventuring in 1920s Hungary

This monograph is has been roughly translated into English from Hungarian.

An understanding of the thousand-year history of Hungary is vital for a good background. During the centuries, four nations have tried to rule the area now known as Hungary. German-Roman emperors brought the Hungarian crown into their treasury. In the eleventh century their attacks stopped, due to huge casualties. In 1241 the Tartars came and burned the land, after they crushed the Royal knights near Muhi. They too were eventually defeated. The Turks, and then the Austrian Habsburg family, came to dominate the country in the sixteenth century.

Finally a new state was formed by mutual accord. It would not stand long, for the Great War began in 1914.

MYSTERIES OF HUNGARY describes the land, the history, and the people of Hungary. Chapters include History and Legends, Economy and Standard of Living, Budapest, Lake Balaton and Region, Adventuring in Hungary, Mythos in Hungary, Professor of Nygotha, and Hungary in Other Eras. This work was written by László Dózsa, resident of the region.

MISKATONIC UNIVERSITY LIBRARY ASSOCIATION monographs are longer works by one or more authors on a subject of import to Call of Cthulhu roleplayers. On these products the author has also fulfilled the functions of editor and layout artist; we at Chaosium have done little in the way of editorial. We found these works compelling and thought that you would enjoy them. Through the publication of monographs we can offer our most loyal fans more information more easily, and evaluate the potential of these works for eventual release to the wholesale market.

You might not be ready to face the horror and dreda this book offers - if you are looking for poor spelling, rotten grammar and repetitive sentences! - AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
And od it for free by not buying the book. I am a fan of the Monography Series and yes: quite a few of the titles suffer from bad editing. But most also offer fresh ideas and quite a few (Sudan, Marocco, Tibet, Congo) are quite good and managed to get published in a re-edited version.
Hungary is the exception. Worst boo in the Monography series to my knowledge.

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
